To the Alleghenies and Oresson.

Toward the latter part of June
many people begin to feel the need
of Il short trip fol- recreation. The
enervating heat of the first DAYS of
summer makes them long for the
freshness and parity of the country,
and if they could only find iaunt
marked out they would take it
eagerly In order to supply this
very need the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company has arranged select
tour to the Allegheny mountains
and Cresson, on Thursday, June Both.
The date appointed is propitious in
more respects than one. 1t covers IL
season when the mountains are
peculiarly attractive. The freshness
Of virgin foliage, the Iuxuriant
wealth of wild flowers, and the won
derful purity Of the air, combined to
produce IL charm that no other Dor
ton Of the year can duplicate. The
period contemplated for the tour also
includes the Fourth of July HOLIDAYS
IA time when every one devotes Il
few days to rest and pleasure. A
mountain visit at this season will
prove Of inestimable benefit in brac-
ing up the system Ofthose who must
spend the summer in work.
The tour will be conducted ON
the same style as those which were
so popular last autumn. The party
will becarried to Crcsson on special
train Of Pullman Parlor Cars and
Day Coaches in charge of the Com
panys Tourist Agent, and will be
surrounded at the Mountain House
with all the comforts that could be
enjoyed in the height of the season.
The excursion tickets, which will
be good for ten days and include
one days board at the Mountain
House, will be sold from Newark
Del, at $500. A special rate will
also be granted to tourists during
the stay at the hotel As this will
be the only excursion run to this
attractive section until September,
those who would enjoy rare treat
should make their arrangements at
once.
Descriptive pamphlets of Cresson
and vicinity will be forwarded to any
address on application to the General
Office of the Company.

A tumbling in dress goods
prices. Some of the staple,
seasonable stulls that you're
buying every day for half, two
thirds or three-quarters what
they were last week.
Not the common time to
drop the price of Seersuckers
when everybody's buying Seer
suckers, or of Crates or of
Ginghams, when half the wo-
men who come to the Store
want Crates and Ginghams.
But the cause is not a com
mon one.
The overcrOwding volume
of the Muslin and Elliott whole
sale stocks forces us to make
room. The pressure comes
on the Summer Dress Goods.
We put it there because
they're the things you'll want.
They are hard pressed. How
hard you may guess from the
prices. Here are some of
them

AT the meeting ofthe Delaware Col
lege Alumni in Wilmington, DIR. A.
N. Raub was recommended as most
fitting to become President of Della
ware College. The Trustees cannot
find candidate better fitted to place
at the head of the institution. His ac-
knowledged ability as teacher and
as scholar is widely known through
out the United States and we feel,
in recommending DR.. Raub to the
Trustees that he is man who should
be placed at the head of Delaware
College.

w HAT tremendous war spirit
has been raised as to the COnfeder-
ate flag question. AS soon rs the
President saw that he had made an
error in giving the order to send
the flags back to those from whom
they were taken, he Immediately
revoked it, which shows his great
common sense. We cannot see why
such great clamoring by many men
who never saw battle field, and if
so, it was at Il distance safe from
danger, and now foremost in scath-
ing invectives against the Chief Ex
ecutive. The Atlanta Constitution
speaks of the affair in cool-hcaded
manner; "As to the Confederate
flags we may say that the Confed-
eracy is dead and does not need
them. The whole business is IL bub-
BILE that needs only to be looked at
i'll Il common-sensc way. There are
fools at the North and fools ut the
South. Between these the nation
must steer. Those who captured
the Confederate flags had considera-
BILE fighting to do, and they are en-
titled to keep them. Wherever they
are kept they are evidence of the
Yaler of both sides.
In our columns will be seen an ac-
count of the heavy storm in Viii

His ways are past finding out The
railroad accident was caused by
mortal hands, and rs to how it hap
pened and where to put the blame
is hard to tell. 1t was an accident,
and they will happen.
INQUIRY made at this office for
statements Gin hand-bill form)pub-
lished by the Road Commissioners
of White Clay Creek hundred, gives
US opportunity to remark that CON
siderable disappointmentis OCCASION
ed yearly to taxpayers because the
statement is not printed in these
columns in connection with the
hand-bills. 1t seems but fair that
taxpayers should be given an OPP
portunity to see just how their
money is expended. If the law but
permits of the statement being print
ed in hand-bill form, then there
should be enough OF them printed
to allow of generous distribution.
1t is very doubtful if any objection
would be raised by the taxpayers
if the statement was published
though the newspaper annually.
THE excellent success achieved by
the Oxford Agricultural Society ut
their spring fair shows conclusivcly
that wise and judicious manage
ment was at work. While the Ok

those who believe in big exhibitions
